Pros

+ Pre IPO. + Competitive environment. If you enjoy working on new stuff or see your ideas come to life this company is for you. + Brainstorming and open discussions is the norm. + Growth is guaranteed if you perform. Unless you are an a_hole to people or a true slacker you are well taken care of + Fun social life. We have food drinks and social groups for softball, soccer, sailing, jam sessions, bar meetings BEER WINE TASTING etc really cool people

Cons

- Depending on which team you are, you might end up working on weekends here and there or at midnights - If you are on a Visa ask first what to expect due the lawyers are not really good at following up

Pros

Some people are very down to earth and make coming to the office worth it. Other than that, being an employee here nowadays is an absolute joke.

Cons

Peak toxicity coming from management. Most people here suck other than the few that are real people and not corporate “sherpa” robots. The company culture has grown more and more toxic as the days go on and product demand has slowed down. I would not work here unless it was absolutely life or death. STAY AWAY PLEASE. Go work for some AI startup or some founding role at a cool company that will value your skills and not just treat you as a number. Okta is not what Okta used to be.
